Effect of water quality on the leaching of potassium from sandy soil   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

When potassium (K⁺) fertilizers are applied to soil, K⁺ is subject to displacement through the soil profile. More generally, the application of K⁺ fertilizers to sandy soils with low clay content and small buffer capacity, in which K⁺ does not interact strongly with the soil matrix, results in localized increases in K⁺ concentration in the soil solution. Losses of K⁺ depend on the concentration of calcium (Ca²⁺) as a competing ion in the leaching water and the amount of water that passes through the soil. In this study, we examined the adsorption and movement of applied K⁺ in columns of sandy soil. Glass tubes, 4.8 cm in diameter and 40 cm in length, were packed with either native soil or Ca²⁺-saturated soil. The resulting 10-cm-long column of soil had a bulk density of 1.65 g cm⁻³. Native soil was leached with distilled water and CaCl₂ solutions of various concentrations. In the Ca²⁺-saturated soil, a pulse of K⁺ was leached with CaCl₂ solutions of various concentrations or distilled water. Increasing the CaCl₂ concentration from 3 to 15 mm resulted in earlier breakthrough, a higher peak concentration of K⁺, and greater amounts of leached K⁺. The breakthrough curve for K⁺, when leached with distilled water, showed very low concentrations and was more delayed than the other treatments. In Ca²⁺-saturated soil, the amount of K⁺ leached increased as Ca²⁺ concentration increased, with up to 54% of the added pulse K⁺ being removed from 10 pore volumes (Pv) (387 mm) of 15 mm CaCl₂. The presence of Ca²⁺ in irrigation water and soil minerals able to release Ca²⁺ is important in determining the amount of K⁺ leached from soils. Large amounts of K⁺ are leached from soils in areas where crops are irrigated with water that contains significant concentrations of Ca²⁺ and other cations.  相似文献   

Badger (Taxidea taxus) disturbances increase soil heterogeneity in a degraded shrub-steppe ecosystem     

D.J. Eldridge  W.G. Whitford 《Journal of Arid Environments》2009,73(1):66-73

In the western United States, overgrazing, weed invasion and wildfire have resulted in the conversion of shrub-steppe to annual grasslands, with substantial effects on ecosystem function. In these landscapes, badgers disturb large areas of soil while foraging for fossorial animals. Mounds created by badgers contained the lowest concentrations of total carbon, nitrogen and sulphur, mineral nitrogen and mineralizable nitrogen, inter-mound soils had the highest concentrations, and excavation pits had intermediate levels. Soil C:N ratio and pH were greater, and electrical conductivity and soluble Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and K⁺ were lower on mound soils compared with either pit or inter-mound soils. Larger pits generally trapped more litter, and increased litter mass equated with greater concentrations of active carbon, but only at the burned sites. Older mounds supported more vascular plants and cryptogamic crusts. Our results demonstrate reduced levels of nutrients and a higher C:N ratio on the mounds compared with either the pits or inter-mounds. Alteration to the homogeneous post-fire landscape by badgers contributes to patchiness in soils and vegetation, which is critical to the functioning of arid systems. Given their effect on soil C:N ratios, mounds may be important sites for recovery of indigenous shrub-steppe plant species.  相似文献   

Characteristics and source of aerosols at Shiyi Glacier,Qilian Mountains, China     

XiaoYu Zhang  ZhongQin Li  Ping Zhou  ShengJie Wang 《寒旱区科学》2016,8(2):135-146

Aerosol samples were collected in the Shiyi Glacier,Qilian Mountains from July 24 to August 19,2012 and analyzed for major water-soluble ionic species(F^-,Cl^-,NO₂^-,NO₃^-,SO₄^2-,Na⁺,NH₄⁺,K⁺,Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺) by ion chromatography. SO₄^2- and NH₄⁺ were the most abundant components of all the anions and cations,with average concentrations of 94.72 and 54.26 neq/m³,respectively,accounting for 34% and 20% of the total water-soluble ions analyzed.These mean ion concentrations were generally comparable with the background conditions in remote sites of the Qilian Mountains,but were much lower than those in certain cities in China.The particles were grouped into two dominant types according to their morphology and EDX signal:Si-rich particles and Fe-rich particles.Backward air mass trajectory analysis suggested that inland cities may contribute some anthropogenic pollution to this glacier,while the arid and semi-arid regions of central Asia were the primary sources of the mineral particles.  相似文献   

Water chemistry and its diversity in relation to local factors in the Latnjavagge drainage basin, arctic–oceanic Swedish Lapland     

Achim A. Beylich  Else Kolstrup  Tage Thyrsted  Dorothea Gintz 《Geomorphology》2004,58(1-4):125-143

The chemistry of precipitation, snow pack and surface water has been analysed on 205 samples collected during the 2001 field season at 25 selected sites within the Latnjavagge drainage basin in arctic–oceanic northern Swedish Lapland. Additionally, daily discharge and yield of dissolved solids have been calculated for several subcatchments and the entire Latnjavagge catchment during the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. Chemical water analysis included the components Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and PO₄³⁻, with SO₄²⁻ and Ca²⁺ being the dominant ones in the surface water. Solute concentrations and chemical denudation were low, but showed significant differences within the basin. In areas of shade, longer snow cover, frozen ground and thin regolith, concentrations over the summer were perceptible but so low that solutes brought into the basin from precipitation could be detected in the surface water. In one locality, it was even found that lake water could reflect snowmelt to such an extent that the solute concentration was less than that of summer precipitation. The highest concentrations were found at a radiation-exposed, W-facing, vegetated, moderately steep slope with relatively thick regolith that was thawed at the time of snowmelt in early June. In such well-drained sites with continuous subsurface water flow, a maximum of contact between water and mineral particles could take place. The concentration values revealed differences in the rate of thawing of frozen ground between shaded areas and/or areas at higher altitude on the one hand and radiation-exposed areas on the other. A comparison with published results from Kärkevagge a few kilometres to the northwest as well as from other periglacial locations indicates that the chemical denudation values from Latnjavagge are more representative of periglacial oceanic environments than the values from the Kärkevagge catchment, which shows especially high chemical denudation rates. The investigation in Latnjavagge stresses the importance of spatial variability within even small catchments of homogeneous lithology as it demonstrates that solute concentrations from different subbasins can differ substantially dependent on exposure to radiation, duration of snow cover and frozen ground conditions, regolith thickness and possibly also to vegetation cover and slope angle as factors steering water turbulence and retention of drainage.  相似文献   

Effects on antioxidant enzyme activities and osmolytes in Halocnemum strobilaceum under salt stress     

TianPeng Gao  Rui Guo  ZhiGang Zhao  GuoHua Chang  YinQuan Chen  Qing Zhang 《寒旱区科学》2016,8(1):65-71

The seedlings of Halocnermum strobilaceum were cultivated in 0.5% hoagland nutrient solution containing 0.0%, 0.9%, 2.7% and 5.4% of NaCl as well as composite salt (Na⁺, Ca²⁺, K⁺, Si⁴⁺) for 20 days; all the contents are in weight ratio. Succulent level, inorganic ions (Na⁺, K⁺), organics such as betaine, proline, malondialdehyde, and antioxidant enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) were measured to reveal its salt tolerance mechanism. When the composite salt concentration reaches 5.4%, SOD activity level, and MDA content is five times the control group; when it reaches 2.7%, the succulent level of seedlings, and the content of K⁺ in roots is nearly two times the NaCl treatment; the dry weight is more than three times the control group; with the NaCl treatment, MDA is three times the contrast; when the salt concentration is 2.7%, POD reaches the maximum. Results indicate that Si⁴⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ from composite salt in the roots of H. strobilaceum improved the water-holding capacity. The activities of antioxidant enzyme were raised by the accumulation of proline and betaine, which increased the salt tolerance. The absorption of K⁺ promoted the high ratio of K⁺/Na⁺ and alleviated the damage of cell membranes of H. strobilaceum, which is associated with osmotic contents such as betaine and proline.  相似文献   

Cation and sediment concentrations in basal ice from Øksfjordjøkelen, north Norway     

Brice R. Rea  W. Brian Whalley  John Meneely 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》2004,86(1):91-105

Abstract Basal ice samples were collected from ice exposures in a natural subglacial cavity beneath an outlet glacier of Øksfjordjøkelen, North Norway. Sediment and cation (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) concentrations were then determined, and indicate stacking of basal ice units producing a repeat pattern of ‘clean firnification ice’ overlying sediment‐rich ice. All measured cations show correlation with sediment concentration indicating weathering reactions to be the dominant contributor of cations. Regressions of specific sediment surface area per unit volume with cation concentration are performed and used to predict cation concentrations. These predicted values provide an indication of cation relocation within the basal ice sequence. The results suggest limited melting and refreezing resulting in the relocation of predominantly monovalent cations downward through the profile. Exchange of cations into solution during the melting of sediment‐rich ice samples has previously been suggested as a source of error in such investigations. Analyses of sediment‐free regelation ice spicules formed at the bed show cation concentrations above firnification ice levels and comparable, in many instances, to the basal ice samples.  相似文献   

Hydrochemical Characteristics and Sodification of Groundwater in the Shirin Sou, Hamedan, Western Iran     

Mohsen Jalali 《Natural Resources Research》2012,21(1):61-73

Salinity and sodicity of groundwater are the principal water quality concerns in irrigated areas of arid and semi-arid regions. The hydrochemical characteristics and sodicity of groundwater in the Shirin Sou area, western Iran were investigated in this study by chemical analyses of groundwater samples from 49 wells. Chemical analysis of the groundwater showed that the mean concentration of the cations was in the order: Na⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Mg²⁺ > K⁺, while that for anions was SO₃ ²⁻ > Cl⁻ > HCO₃ ⁻ > NO₃ ⁻. The most prevalent water type is Na–SO₄ followed by water types Na–Cl and Ca–SO₄. The chemical evolution of groundwater is primarily controlled by water–rock interactions: mainly weathering of aluminosilicates, dissolution of sulfate minerals, and cation exchange reactions. Sulfate dissolution and pyrite weathering may both contribute to the SO₄ ²⁻ load of the groundwater. High Na⁺ concentrations in groundwater participate in ion-exchange processes, resulting in the displacement of base cations into solution and raised concentrations in groundwater. The principal component analysis (PCA) performed on groundwater identified three principal components controlling variability of groundwater chemistry. Electrical conductivity, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, SO₄ ²⁻, and Cl⁻ content were associated in the same component (PC1) (salinity), most likely linked to anthropogenic activities.  相似文献

The chemistry of major cations (Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺) and anions (HCO₃ ⁻, SO₄ ²⁻, and Cl⁻) in the water of Lake Pumayum Co and its inflow river was studied, revealing the obvious ionic difference among various inflow rivers and the lake. The chemical type of the lake water was Mg²⁺-Ca²⁺-HCO₃ ⁻-SO₄ ²⁺, but the major ions of the main inflow rivers were Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-HCO₃ ⁻. In the lake inlet of Jiaqu River, the main inflow river, there was significant variance of water chemistry within the depth less than 2 m. However, it was almost homogeneous at other area of the lake. Therefore, with the evidence of distribution of water chemistry and oxygen isotope of lake water, a conclusion can be outlined that Jiaqu River had a distinct effect on the hydrochemistry of the water on the submerged delta, whereas this is not the case for other rivers. The Gibbs plot revealed that the dominant mechanism responsible for controlling chemical compositions of the lake water was rocks weathering in the drainage area. Ion ratios and ternary plots further explored the main processes controlling the water chemistry of the catchment, i.e., carbonate weathering, pyrite weathering, and silicate weathering. The different hydrochemistry characteristics between river water and lake water may result from the CaCO₃ precipitation. The findings will benefit the explanation of the environmental significance of carbonate in paleolimnological studies in the lake.  相似文献

Growth, ionic and osmotic relations of an Allenrolfea occidentalis population in an inland salt playa of the Great Basin Desert     

Bilquees Gul  Darrell J. Weber  M. Ajmal Khan 《Journal of Arid Environments》2001,48(4):445

Variation in growth, physiology and ionic relations patterns of Allenrolfea occidentalis, a perennial halophyte of dry habitats, was studied under field conditions from May 1996 to November 1997. An A. occidentalis community has a characteristic soil pH of 7·3–8·3. During the two years, the population was exposed to great variations in soil salinity, from 29 to 146 dS m⁻¹, and soil moisture, ranging from drought (9·2%) to wet (19%). The salt concentrations were significantly higher in the surface soil layers than in the subsurface layers. Seasonal changes in dry weight are directly related to soil salinity stress. Allenrolfea occidentalis had greater growth and biomass production under saline conditions. Na⁺and Cl⁻ions were accumulated in plant tissues in much greater amounts than K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺. Soil salinities were significantly reduced at the end of the growing season. Water potentials of the shoots decreased significantly with increasing salinity. The plant (F_v/F_mratio) was more affected by salinity and irradiation levels during the summer period.  相似文献   

Soil sodium and potassium adsorption ratio along a Mediterranean–arid transect     

P. Sarah   《Journal of Arid Environments》2004,59(4):281

Changes in the relationship between soil soluble ions and rainfall were studied on hillslopes at seven research sites that represent four climatic regions: Mediterranean, semi-arid, mildly arid and arid. At each site, soil samples were taken in several seasons and the ratio between the Na⁺ plus K⁺ content and the Ca²⁺ plus Mg²⁺ content (sodium and potassium adsorption RATIO=SPAR) was determined. In general, SPAR increased with increasing aridity except for the most arid site in which the soil contains a gypsic layer. The relationship between SPAR and rainfall was non-linear. An abiotic threshold, characterized by a sharp change in the SPAR, was found around the 200 mm isohyet: sites that receive less than 200 mm annual rainfall showed significantly higher SPAR than those that receive more than 200 mm, where SPAR was very low.  相似文献

Hydrochemical regime and its mechanism in Yamzhog Yumco Basin,South Tibet   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The hydrochemistry of alpine lakes reflects water characteristic and its response to climatic change. Over 300 water samples had been collected from 52 sites of 5 lakes and 7 inflowing rivers in the Yamzhog Yumco Basin, South Tibet, during 2009–2014, basing which the hydrochemical regime and its mechanism were analyzed along with the adoption of hydrological investigations in 1979 and 1984 as well. Results revealed that the waters were hard with weak alkalinity for the Yamzhog Yumco Basin. Most of them were fresh, and the rest were slightly saline. The hydrochemical types of 5 lakes (i.e., Lake Yamzhog Yum Co, Puma Yum Co, Bajiu Co, Kongmu Co, and Chen Co) were SO₄ ^2––HCO₃ ^––Mg²⁺–Na⁺, HCO₃ ^––SO₄ ^2––Mg²⁺–Ca²⁺, SO₄ ^2––Mg²⁺–Na⁺, SO₄ ^2––HCO₃ ^––Ca²⁺, and SO₄ ^2––Na⁺–Mg²⁺–Ca²⁺, respectively. As for rivers, HCO₃ ^– and SO₄ ^2– were the major anions, and Ca²⁺ was the dominant cation. Lake Yamzhog Yum Co, the largest lake in the basin, exhibited remarkable spatial variations in hydrochemistry at its surface but irregular changes with depth. The weathering of evaporates and carbonates, together with evaporation and crystallization, were the major mechanisms controlling the hydrochemistry of waters in the Yamzhog Yumco Basin. Global warming also had significant impacts on hydrochemical variations.  相似文献   

Investigation of Chemical Composition of Atmospheric Aerosol in Ulaanbaatar During 2005–2014

Results from investigating atmospheric aerosols in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) 2005–2014 are presented. It is found that the largest sources of suspended particles are represented by fuel combustion and the concomitant exhaust gases, thermal power generation, industrial facilities and mineral dust transport; the main components of aerosol particles are SO ₄ ^2- , NO ₃ ^- , Cl^–, NH ₄ ⁺ , Ca²⁺ and Na⁺. It is determined that in the wintertime, as a result of an increase in fuel consumption, calm weather and orographic characteristics of topography which contribute to accumulation of contaminants in the urban atmosphere, the average sum of ions increases to 43.9–114.6 μg/m³ against 7.44–18.48 μg/m³ during a warm season. Interannual differences in aerosol composition were noted; the total ion content averaged 43.9 μg/m³ during December 2011, 114.6 μg /m³ during December 2012, 68.7 μg/m³ during December 2013, and 64.7 μg/m³ during December 2014. It was found that the concentration of the sum of ions in the aerosol during the winter period is by a factor of 6 higher than during the summer. The highest exceedance of the concentrations was observed for the alkaline earth ions Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ (by a factor of more than 20) forming part of the ash components. There is a difference in the chemical composition of the aerosol sampled in the center of the city and on its outskirts. It is established that the aerosol composition and concentration in Ulaanbaatar during the winter period are comparable the aerosol composition in the industrial cities of China.  相似文献   

Effects of Fe3+ on Dissolution Dynamics of Carbonate Rocks in a Shallow Burial Reservoir     

Ma  Jiayi  Xie  Shuyun  Liu  Dan  Carranza  Emmanuel John M.  He  Zhiliang  Zhang  Mohai  Wang  Tianyi 《Natural Resources Research》2021,30(2):1291-1303

Dissolution of carbonates in acidic fluids, which has attracted much research attention in recent years, is of great significance for the formation of high-quality reservoirs. The dissolution stage under low temperature and low pressure in shallow burial is one of the most important processes of reservoir dissolution and transformation. However, the dissolution dynamics of carbonate rocks in shallow burial and their formation have been controversial for a long time, and there are still disputes in the dissolution processes about how associated minerals and accessory minerals (e.g., pyrite) in carbonate reservoirs influence the formation of secondary pores. Additional metal ions in acidic fluids can change fluid properties and dissolution processes, and consequently affect reservoir quality. However, there are few laboratory studies done on the effect of associated minerals on the dissolution dynamics of carbonates. To clarify the specific impact of Fe-bearing associated minerals and Fe³⁺ on the dissolution of carbonates in shallow burial reservoirs, six samples of typical carbonate rocks in the Zigui area of Hubei Province, China were studied. The dissolution kinetics of carbonates in dilute hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid solutions containing metal ions (Fe³⁺/Ca²⁺/Mn²⁺) at ambient temperature and pressure (T?=?25 °C, P?=?1 atm) were studied, by laboratory dissolution experiments combined with numerical simulations using PHREEQC. The results show that the Fe³⁺ is of great significance on the dissolution of carbonate rocks, while the influences of Ca²⁺ and Mn²⁺ are relatively weak. The dissolutions degrees of micritic limestone (ZG-L25), dolomitic limestone (ZG-L7) and dolomite (ZG-D9) were better than the other carbonates under the influence of metal ions (Fe³⁺/Ca²⁺/Mn²⁺) in acid solutions. Therefore, the dolomite reservoir of the Cambrian Qinjiamiao Formation, the dolomitic limestone reservoir of the Tianheban Formation and the limestone reservoir of the Triassic Daye Formation in the Zigui area are potential high-quality reservoirs. The carbonate reservoirs associated with Fe-bearing minerals were easier to dissolve and formed secondary pores under shallow burial. This process is beneficial to the formation of high-quality reservoirs. Moreover, the addition of Fe³⁺ into hydrochloric acid solution may be conducive to improving the reservoirs acidizing effect. Furthermore, the results gave innovative results from multiple perspectives of geo-material science and computational geosciences, which may provide new avenues for in-depth study of carbonate dissolution in shallow burial based on water–rock reaction, chemical dissolution, computational simulation, and geological background.

Scaling effects of proximate desertification drivers on soil nutrients in northeastern Tanzania     

G. Oba  R.B. Weladji  D.J. Msangameno  L.M. Kaitira  J. Stave 《Journal of Arid Environments》2008,72(10):1820-1829

We tested the scaling effects of proximate desertification drivers (i.e. soil erosion, bush encroachment and grazing pressure) on soil nutrients in northeastern Tanzania. We analyzed nutrient concentrations in the desertified and non-degraded benchmark. For the desertified landscapes we analyzed nutrient concentrations at the coarse (landscape), medium (micro-landscape) and sampling unit (fine scale) levels. Further, for the desertified micro-landscapes, we used the differences in total nutrient concentrations to identify moderately dysfunctional and dysfunctional micro-landscapes. The desertified micro-landscapes had an overall lower soil organic matter, total nitrogen and exchangeable phosphorus, and soil water, but had elevated cation exchange capacity and soluble bases compared with the benchmark. Different intensities of desertification processes, mediated by the three proximate desertification drivers, produced varied amounts of nutrients corresponding with moderately dysfunctional and dysfunctional micro-landscapes. The dysfunctional micro-landscapes had the lowest nutrient availability. The effects of proximate desertification drivers on pooled nutrients were scale-independent. For individual nutrients only pH, soil water and Mg⁺⁺ showed scaling effects at the coarse or medium scales for soil erosion, while for grazing pressure pH, soil water, CEC, Na⁺, Mg²⁺⁺ and Ca²⁺⁺ showed scale dependence. The scaling effects were interlinked with landscape processes that operated simultaneously and interactively with different drivers.  相似文献   

Chemical composition of saline and subsaline lakes of the northern Great Plains,western Canada   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

William M. Last 《International Journal of Salt Lake Research》1992,1(2):47-76

The northern Great Plains of Canada stretch from the Precambrian Shield near Winnipeg, Manitoba, westward for ∼1,700 km to the Rocky Mountains foothills. This vast region of flat to gently rolling terrain contains a very large number of salt lakes. Major ion chemical data on ∼500 of them are available. Although the average brine (salinity, 37 ppt) is a Na⁺−SO₄ ²⁻ type of water, the lakes exhibit a wide range of salinities and ionic compositions. This diversity is confirmed by Q-mode cluster analysis; it identified thirteen major water chemistry types. Most ions display distinct trends, both spatially and with increasing salinity. All dissolved components increase with increasing salinity, but at different rates. The relative proportions of Ca²⁺ and HCO₃ ⁻+CO₃ ²⁻ ions show a strong decrease with increasing brine salinity, whereas SO₄ ²⁻ ions increase with increasing salinity. The ionic proportions of Na⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺ and Cl⁻ exhibit no significant relationship with salinity. R-mode factor analysis of the lake water chemistry, combined with selected environmental parameters, identifies groundwater composition, climate, and the elevation of the lake within the drainage system as most important in controlling brine chemistry and salinity on a regional basis. Variability in source of ions, reaction processes and products are undoubtedly key factors in helping to explain brine chemistry of an individual basin or variation from a local perspective, but these factors are generally poorly understood and not quantified on a regional basis.

Geochemistry of waters and brines from the Salinas Grandes basin,Córdoba,Argentina. I. Geomorphology and hydrochemical characteristics     

R. M. Dargám 《International Journal of Salt Lake Research》1994,3(2):137-158

This paper reports on hydrochemical features of diluted waters in the source areas and the brine end-members dominant in the playa of the Salinas Grandes Basin, Córdoba, Argentina. Special emphasis was placed on the study of the relationship between geomorphology and the resulting hydrochemical fractionation. Inflow is from springs and mountain streams which disappear before reaching the saline complex. The playa and intermittent saline lakes are mainly fed by groundwater flow and a few moderately saline and perennial springs. Conversely, ephemeral lakes are fed by atmospheric precipitation and groundwater, whereas small ponds are only fed by atmospheric precipitation. The absence of a clear linkage between geomorphological units and water types was evident in the source areas. Up to four types of water were recognized in a given geomorphological unit. From the sandflat downward towards the playa, the correspondence between geomorphological units and water types was clear, coinciding with a decreased hydrochemical heterogeneity. In this subenvironment, I have recognized two dominant types of water (SO ₄ ^2– –Cl^––HCO ₃ ^– –Na⁺ and Cl^––SO ₄ ^2– –HCO ₃ ^– –Na⁺), which can be considered the original members of the neutral brine in the playa (Cl^––SO ₄ ^2– –Na⁺ where Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺ do not surpass 5 meq per cent), and an intermediate type in the mudflat (Cl^––SO ₄ ^2– –Na⁺ where the contribution of Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺ reaches up to 15 meq per cent). It seems evident that in the zone between the source areas and the sandflat, hydrochemistry is governed by chemical weathering. In stream floodplains and in the distal alluvial plain, close to the saline complex, the increase in water types as well as the increase of HCO ₃ ^– with respect to SO ₄ ^2– , were explained by the mixture of aquifers controlled by the Salinas Grandes-Salinas de Ambargasta fracture. In the saline complex, the more concentrated end-members are the result of evaporation of the two more frequent water-types in the sandflat subenvironment, and salt dissolution of ancient evaporite deposit.  相似文献
